Modern luxury home with ocean view, contemporary architecture located on the coast with palm trees and natural landscape. Excellent example of marine residential architecture.

Overlooking the calm Mediterranean coastline in Aamchit, Lebanon, Residencia Aamchit de Blankpage Architects is an engaging exploration of horizontality, transparency and rhythm. The design presents a series of layered terraces, this 430 m² beach residence maximizes its interaction with the sea through minimalist construction and seamless integration with the surrounding nature.

Dialogue between architecture and horizon

Built on a gently sloping terrain, the house unfolds through three vertically positioned platforms, responding to the topography of the site and providing unlimited views over the sea. Architects Blankpage created the house as a compositional celebration of the Mediterranean horizon, using horizontal slabs supported by a minimalist steel mesh, and framed with transparent glass.

This elemental form allows the house to breathe together with the landscape, offering a continuous dialogue between architecture and nature.

Layers of life: from terrace to shore

The residence is accessible by car from the street located slightly below the upper terrace. From here, a smooth sequence of ramps and stairs leads through levels, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces:

Upper terrace includes a master bedroom, an infinity pool and a spacious sunny terrace.
Mid-level terrace contains two guest bedrooms and a family relaxation area.
Lower terrace, closest to the sea, serves as the main living room. It opens directly towards an infinity pool and a private staircase to the beach.

Together, these platforms form a spatial pathway, gently descending from the street to the sea.

Structure, light and rhythm

The steel frame of the house—built on a 2.55-meter grid of thin square columns—supports wide projecting slabs covered with wooden cladding. This combination creates a keiloscope of changing shadows, moving throughout the day under the influence of solar movement.

At sunset, the western façade becomes a photographic diaphragm, directing the last rays of light deep inside the house, coloring the interior in a horizontal glow of deep red. This effect transforms the structure into a temporal light instrument.

Unity of form and landscape

With its restrained palette, geometric elegance and intellectual adaptation to the terrain, Residencia Aamchit represents an exquisite example of contemporary Mediterranean architecture. It is a vibrant platform—smooth, open and constantly communicating with the sea.
